RE: Arrow Flight different with broadheads vs. field points
Go to the thread I listed above, I think it explains alot on this issue. If we' re talking " acceptable" tuning, then it is obvious that we are not accepting a " middle of the road" tune, right? OK--- When you try to tune broadheads and field points together, that is exactly what you get ----" middle of the road" . Due to differing ferrule lengths and sizes, drag of varying blades' thicknesses, shapes, and sizes vs fieldpoints, and differing FOCs thereof, Broadhead tipped arrows and field tipped arrows even of the same approx weight are NOT supposed to fly exactly the same! If they do, then you are not getting a " true tune" with either, and only gaining a mediocre " middle of the road" tune for both. If you run them both out of a machine like a hooter shooter, you will find that the field tipped arrows will not go into the same hole as the broadhead tipped ones when correctly tuned for one or the other. Won' t happen. So you either tune for a " middle of the road" tune which is " unacceptable" to those who are looking to get the best performance and forgiveness from their equipment, or we tune to the individual application and arrow and gain that perfection that only each individual tune can bring because we are tuning to that specific setup, instead of trying to generalize.
Based on that, I have to respectfully disagree with Len and agree with Bob on this particular aspect of tuning. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
